How do superheroes come to life? Have you ever wanted to be one of them? Frank D'Arbo (Rainn Wilson) was a simple ordinary man up to one point. He is married with Sarah (Liv Tyler), who is a former stripper and a drug addict and lives a pretty boring life. That all changes after she gets under the influence of her boss, Jacques (Kevin Bacon) and leaves her husband. Angry at him, Frank does everything in order to get his wife back. At one point, some pretty hilarious ideas start coming to his mind. One of them is being a superhero as a true life calling. So, he does some research in the local comic book store. He decides that he needs a weapon, costume, name and a tag line. He thinks up everything he needs and becomes Crimson Bolt- a superhero in red suit that roams around the city and fights crime with his plumber tools. With the news constantly talking about a new superhero, this Crimson guy gets a backup- Boltie (Ellen Page), a teen geek girl from the neighbourhood, who is really into comics and superheroes. The whole story is one big parody on movies like Kick-ass, Batman, and all famous superheroes. Two of them tell the crime to shut up and they will surely make you laugh.
